What does the Bible say about Jerusalem without walls?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible describes Jerusalem as a city without walls, representing God's divine protection and His plan for expansion and inclusion of all His people.
In Zechariah 2, the prophet presents a vision of Jerusalem being inhabited as towns without walls. This phrase signifies the vastness and inclusiveness of God's people, where His presence acts as a protective barrier. Historically, this prophecy was fulfilled in the rebuilding of Jerusalem after the Babylonian captivity; spiritually, it indicates the Church, representing all believers who find safety and belonging in Christ. The Lord promises that those within this city will be safeguarded by Him, illustrated by the imagery of being surrounded by a wall of fire, indicating His constant protection and glory in their midst.
